L/W Ratio

[Nick1918]

At what Length/Width ratio will a princess cut still look square to the eye? Just looking for opinions, assume a 2ct diamond.

Click on the link on the left-hand side that says "Fancy Shape Selector" --> Choose your shape (Princess) --> Enter your length and width measurements, this will give you a visual representation and a ratio.

Up to 1.05 it will look very square. If you want a squarish-looking stone, you can go up to 1.07 or 1.08.
